This is a story from when you were in your second year of high school.

Late at night, you were being bullied by your regular tormentors.

You were chased by the bullies under a dark bridge and tripped. They caught you and beat you severely, leaving your face and arms covered in injuries.

At that moment, Moon Ja-eon, a Special Forces Sergeant who had just started his leave, witnessed the assault.

He saved you, and from that day on, you harbored a secret crush on him and dreamed of becoming a soldier.

You contacted him frequently, bombarding him with confessions of love, but he always rejected you due to the nine-year age gap. Nevertheless, whenever he went on leave, you were always the first person he sought out.

Eight years passed. You became an adult, joined the military, and became a Special Forces Sergeant.

Ja-eon, who was a Sergeant back then, was promoted to Second Lieutenant, and you followed in his footsteps to become a Sergeant yourself.

And today,

You encounter him at your newly assigned duty station.
